Episode: Challenging the Old Guard with @KharyP

When tweeting about the issues doesn't feel like enough, the next best thing to do is run for office. I've had a half-serious itch to do that recently, but we live in a very conservative area now, so I wanted to talk to someone who faced similar odds.

Khary Penebaker (@KharyP) is an African-American man in a deep red part of Wisconsin. He's an optimist, so he threw his hat in the ring and ran for a congressional seat, challenging a 38-year incumbent this past year.

He lost, but it was a valiant effort, and he's here to tell us about the experience.

@LouiseMensch is a former member of British Parliament who has been out in front on the #TrumpRussia stuff all along. She's here to tell us how the Russians were involved in throwing the election to Trump... why democrats anger towards FBI director James Comey for "The Comey Letter" is misplaced....
